EN 3020 I Love to Steal Awhile Away
Matt.14.23
Versi Version 1
1
I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of closing day
In humble, grateful, prayer.
2
I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead
Where none but god can hear.
3
I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On God, whom I adore.
4
I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5
Thus, when life’s toilsome day is o’er,
May its departing ray,
Be calm at this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day.
